Batteries
Explanation:
Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage. Many items
sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries manufactured this year will have
an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will
maintain voltage longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can
deplete the power.
We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for
indoor displays
.
Use Alkaline or Lithium batteries in the
outdoor sensors
.
A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.
Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six
years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio frequency)
interference from the battery compartment.
Temperature Station Factory Restart
Explanation:
The factory restart returns the temperature station
and outdoor sensor to an “out-of-the-
box” state and often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1. Remove all power from outdoor sensor and temperature station.
2. Press one of the buttons on the temperature station at least 20 times to clear all memory.
3. Verify that the temperature station is blank before proceeding (there are some painted lines that will
not disappear).
4.
Leave batteries out of both units for 15 minutes
(very important).
5. Insert fresh Alkaline batteries into the temperature station.
6. Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
7. Press the TX button on the outdoor sensor to transmit RF signal.
8. Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the temperature station.
9. When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow the outdoor
sensor and temperature station to sit together for 15 minutes to establish a strong connection.
10. Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
For optimum 433MHz transmission, place the outdoor sensor no more than 300 feet (91 meters, open
air) from the temperature station.

Outdoor Temperature Sensor
Compatible Outdoor Sensors
The TX141-Av2 outdoor sensor comes packaged with this temperature station.
The TX141-B, TX141-Bv2 and TX141-A (433MHz) outdoor sensors are compatible with this
temperature station.
Quick Connect
Explanation:
Use the quick connect for a temperature station and outdoor sensor that have been
working but lost connection due to interference or low batteries. This is not a thorough factory reset.
